A specialty license plate that raises money for an LGBT youth group is available from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
Sales of the plate, which costs an additional $40, benefit the Indiana Youth Group, which serves about 1,300 young people in the state each year.
The group operates a youth center in Indianapolis, as well as works with more than 35 gay-straight alliances at the high school level.
The government-approved, LGBT-youth plate is believed to be a first in the United States.
The youth group applied to become part of the specialty plate program several years ago and, denied admission, sued the state in 2010.
The program generates about $11 million a year for other organizations involved.
